Haven't you heard all the bad news about Uber.com? It became an illegal taxi provider in European and Asian countries not too long ago. I was eager to try it out in the USA for the first time. After registering online on my laptop and downloading the app to my cellphone I was ready to go once I had my cellphone number and credit card verified. Online support helped me get all done. I could not believe how simple and easy this service was. Opening the app would reveal my exact location. I would already see the Uber drivers in my area. I requested a quote for my trip to St. Petersburg area and was quoted 90 to 120 bucks for the trip. Regular taxis and shuttles would have cost around 230 US$ plus service charge, tax and tip. It was far less than half of the price. I clicked once and 2 minutes later my Uber driver was standing right in front of my at
Orlando Country Inn hotel.
It was a smooth ride in a Lincoln Towncar. The total amounted to 101 US$ and was deducted from my registered card.
Final question: would I use Uber again? Yes, of course. I love simple and well working services like this. Kick ass!
